AML 2313 Burning Star No 2

The Burning Star No. 2 Coconut Rd project involves addressing critical safety and infrastructure issues along a roadway adjacent to two large 120-inch metal culverts that carry Little Beucoup Creek. The site features severely eroded and failing roadside slopes, which pose hazards to the roadway and surrounding environment. The existing culverts have inadequate hydraulic capacity, leading to frequent scour and erosion of the roadway embankment during high flow events. The project aims to repair and stabilize the slopes, improve the culverts' capacity, and prevent further erosion and roadway failure. The contract, issued by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, is valued between $500,000 and $1,500,000 and was posted on March 26, 2025, with a response deadline of April 9, 2025. It is a solicitation open to qualified contractors, with the primary point of contact being the DNR Office of Realty and Capital Planning. Interested parties can find additional details and submit their responses through the Illinois bid portal. The project is part of the State and Local Government Economic Development (SLED) initiative, emphasizing infrastructure safety and environmental protection in Illinois.
